Baptism of School-Aged Children

Children who are old enough to engage with their faith in a more active way are invited to prepare for Baptism through a simple, age‑appropriate process. This may include short preparation sessions, participation in the parish community, and involvement in our sacramental programs.

​

Our team will guide families step‑by‑step, ensuring children feel supported, welcomed, and ready to celebrate the sacrament with understanding and joy.
